Design and experimental study of an origami-inspired constant-force mechanism

Shiwei Liu et al.

Summary: Inspired by the nonlinearity of origami cartons, a novel origami-inspired constant-force mechanism (OriCFM) is proposed. It adds equivalent springs at horizontal and oblique creases of the rigid origami mechanism to achieve a stable constant force output. The mechanical model is established based on geometric relationships, and the influence of structural parameters and spring stiffness on the constant force characteristic of the OriCFM is analyzed. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.

A Structural Optimization Framework to Design Compliant Constant Force Mechanisms With Large Energy Storage

Haihua Ou et al.

Summary: In this study, a structural optimization framework is proposed for designing constant force mechanisms (CFMs) with high energy storage capacity. The framework defines the constant force behavior with zero preload as ideal, aiming to maximize energy storage given force and displacement limits. A graph-based topology selection and shape optimization are conducted to select CFM designs with energy storage most similar to the ideal constant force relation. The obtained CFM designs through this framework demonstrate higher energy similarity index compared to typical designs from literature (0.95 versus 0.90). These constant force mechanisms can be applied in various robot/human-environment interfaces to mitigate impact force and increase energy storage.
